Pixelpost has a built-in password recovery option, but it requires that you have set an actual and working email adress in the admin panel to send a new password for you. Just call your admin page with http://yourdomain.com/(photoblog_folder/)admin and you will see the link to the password recovery.

Image and Thumbnail path

In Admin Options page you can define another foldername for your images and thumbnails folder. Default is ../images/ for the images and ../thumbnails/ for the thumbnails.
You can use any other folder name of your choice by changing the names here. But don't forget to create a folder by this name with the correct CHMOD too!

Configured and Guessed Path

In Admin General Info page you can check if your folders have the correct naming.
The guessed path is the real and absolute server path, assuming that you didn't rename the images / thumbnails directory in the Options menu.
The configured path is the relative path of the folder, showing the name you defined in the Options menu.

If the configured path shows the same value as the guessed path, this is wrong and your photoblog won't work!
The configured path is the directory path seen from admin/index.php with the actual folder name where your images rsp. thumbnails are in.
